Pennsylvania Brewing Company - Overlook IPA

Pennsylvania Brewing Company - Overlook IPA

Pennsylvania Brewing Company - Overlook IPA

  • ABV: 6.50%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 70
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Zeus
  • Malts: 2 Row Pale, Caramel, Biscuit, Vienna
  • Country: United States
A new spring seasonal, Overlook IPA pours a golden copper color with a bright cap of foam that leaves nice lacing as you drain your glass. On the nose, expect sweet malty aromas overlaid by hop notes offering up lightly fruity, herbal, and spicy tones, with a bit of a woody, earthy impression. We found the beer quite bright and forthright in the mouth as the pure Zeus hops come through resinous, herbal, and somewhat spicy, with a bit of citrus ...

Geary's Hampshire Special Ale

D. L. Geary Brewing Company - Hampshire Special Ale

D. L. Geary Brewing Company - Hampshire Special Ale

  • ABV: 7.00%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 48
  • Serving Temperature: 48-55°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Mug, Snifter, or Tulip
  • Hops: Cascade, Mt. Hood, East Kent Golding
  • Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate
  • Country: United States
Hampshire Special Ale pours an amber-red color with an ample, creamy, light khaki colored head. On the nose, a malty aroma with a firm hop bite is readily apparent. Look for toasty, caramel, and fruity notes with a honey-like quality, joined with floral hops and an underlying citric impression. As it warms, hints of the 7.0% ABV begin to peak through. Take a sip and…Wow! Lot’s going on here! Look for it to open with big fruity notes akin to...

Odell Brewing Company & Thornbridge Brewery - Pond Hopper Double Extra Pale Ale

Odell Brewing Company & Thornbridge Brewery - Pond Hopper Double Extra Pale Ale

  • Style: Double Extra Pale Ale
  • ABV: 9.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Oversized Wine Glass or Snifter
  • Country: United States
Calling all hopheads: Do Not Miss This Beer; Pond Hopper is going to make a serious impression—and once it’s gone, it’s GONE. PhD.EPA, as we’ve chosen to abbreviate this beer’s name, pours a slightly hazy pale copper color, dressed with a massively frothy, thick off-white head. The aroma… ah the aroma… this beer oozes fresh hoppiness. Look for spicy hops, citrusy hops, tropical fruit hops, piney, resinous hops, minty hops—all manner of different ...

Coopers Brewery Limited - Extra Strong Vintage Ale 2009

  • ABV: 7.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, or Pint Glass
  • Country: Australia
Author’s Note: While we always recommend using a glass instead of drinking from the bottle, we feel the need to really stress the point for this beer. Folks, this one is special – please pour it into something, even if it’s a wine glass. It’ll look, smell, and taste the way the brewer intended, and you can avoid the sediment as well. Cheers!

We’re very excited to bring you this very, very special treat: the 2009 vintage of Cooper’s Extr...

Pennsylvania Brewing Company - Kaiser Pils

Pennsylvania Brewing Company - Kaiser Pils

Pennsylvania Brewing Company - Kaiser Pils

  • ABV: 4.50%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
  • Serving Temperature: 42-48°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Stange, or Flute
  • Hops: Hallertau, Tradition, Spalt
  • Malts: 2 Row Pale
  • Country: United States
This 2008 GABF Gold Medal winner in the German-Style Pilsener category is described by Penn as a “Northern German Pils,” a nod to the more prominently zesty and citric pilsners of that region. Weighing in at 45 IBUs, it may seem extreme in terms of what one expects from a pilsner, but it’s not unheard of among examples of the style from northern Germany. This brew presents a vibrant golden yellow color with some light chill haze, topped by a br...

McAuslan Brewing Company - St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

McAuslan Brewing Company - St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Country: Canada
McAuslan’s St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout pours a virtually opaque dark brown with a rich, chocolaty head that drops to a persistent collar that leaves big sheets of lace as you drink down the glass. Pretty much as soon as you start pouring this ale, you’ll notice the rich, complex aromas it offers up. Look for notes of roasted coffee, coffee cake, unsweetened chocolate, raisin bread, molasses, and a bit of licorice. On the palate, it opens with a...

Brouwerij Van Viven - Viven Smoked Porter

Brouwerij Van Viven - Viven Smoked Porter

Brouwerij Van Viven - Viven Smoked Porter

  • Style: Belgian Smoked Porter
  • ABV: 7.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: English Pint Glass or Chalice
  • Country: Belgium
Viven Smoked Porter fills our English pint glasses, rendering them a deep dark color that allows almost no light to pass, save for a ruby glow at the edges. This wonderfully dark beer is draped with a fluffy, dark tan head that lovingly clings to the glass as it very slowly melts away. The nose provides a multicultural beery experience—offering up notes reminiscent of sweetish English porter, the chalky-meets-chocolaty dryness of many classic dom...

Geary's Summer Ale

D. L. Geary Brewing Company - Geary’s Summer Ale

  • ABV: 6.00%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 36
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Stange, or Flute
  • Hops: Magnum, Sterling, Tettnang
  • Malts: Pale, Caramalt
  • Country: United States
Available around March through August, Geary’s Summer Ale is a perfect companion to the warmer half of the year. Expect an ample just-off-white head on the pour, capping a brew that’s pale but still sporting a bit more color than many other Kölsch-inspired summer ales. On the nose we found the malts lightly sweet with some mild caramel and crackery tones, and a very mild toastiness. Notes of apple can be found as well, with the hops offering a...
